is brought to you in
living color on NBC.

4
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,464
Dad-burn, look at him go.
5
00:00:38,572 --> 00:00:40,598
All the way from
St. Joe in eight days.
6
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:43,019
That's something... you know,
that's less than half the time
7
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:45,239
they've ever done it in
before. That's hard to believe.
8
00:00:45,345 --> 00:00:46,904
I believe it's a miracle.
9
00:00:47,014 --> 00:00:49,381
I tell you, this Pony Express
is gonna be the biggest thing
10
00:00:49,483 --> 00:00:50,781
that ever happened to the West.
11
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:52,250
What an idea.
12
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,245
You know, they put together
the best string of thoroughbreds
13
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:10,760
in the country for this job.
14
00:01:10,871 --> 00:01:12,100
They're gonna need 'em
15
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:14,150
getting over the Sierra
into Sacramento from here...
16
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:16,871
The last leg of the
trip and the toughest.
17
00:01:16,977 --> 00:01:20,038
I don't think we have a horse
in the Ponderosa this fast.
18
00:01:21,982 --> 00:01:24,577
I wouldn't be so sure of that.
19
00:01:27,254 --> 00:01:29,246
Hey, Joe!

♪♪
21
00:03:25,672 --> 00:03:27,197
I had a vision.
22
00:03:27,307 --> 00:03:28,206
Yes, sir.
23
00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:30,402
A vision of this land.
24
00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:33,412
I saw the populous East
and the great, growing West
25
00:03:33,513 --> 00:03:35,846
tied together with
a single thread,
26
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:40,114
a thread of courageous
young horsemen riding the wind,
27
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:42,382
never leaving the saddle,
28
00:03:42,489 --> 00:03:45,323
an ever-changing
group of horsemen
29
00:03:45,425 --> 00:03:48,918
whose determination
and strength and courage
30
00:03:49,029 --> 00:03:52,261
will make the Pony
Express a living reality.
31
00:03:52,365 --> 00:03:56,665
That was my vision,
my hope, my dream.
32
00:03:56,770 --> 00:03:59,205
But before we can do all that,
33
00:03:59,306 --> 00:04:02,071
I must have pledges
of your support,
34
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:04,406
pledges that all other
communities so far
35
00:04:04,511 --> 00:04:05,740
have given me.
36
00:04:05,846 --> 00:04:08,611
And as soon as our
receipts start rolling in
37
00:04:08,715 --> 00:04:12,083
and a grateful government
grants us a mail subsidy...
38
00:04:12,185 --> 00:04:14,586
How do we know that'll happen?
39
00:04:14,688 --> 00:04:17,157
I been trying to get
'em to shake loose
40
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,158
for ten years,
for my stage line.
41
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:22,491
All I got so far is six
government mules,
42
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:26,432
three inspectors,
and a tax bill.
43
00:04:28,235 --> 00:04:31,796
Ludlow, you're asking
us to put our money
44
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:33,737
into this express
company of yours.
45
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,900
I'd like to know a
little more about you
46
00:04:36,009 --> 00:04:37,409
before I put a nickel in it.
47
00:04:37,511 --> 00:04:39,878
You want to know about
Charles Ludlow, huh?
48
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:44,710
You ever hear of the Erie
Canal Riverboat Service?
49
00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:47,617
The New Orleans Clipper Lines?
50
00:04:47,721 --> 00:04:51,556
The Washington and
Boston Packet and Mail?
51
00:04:51,658 --> 00:04:54,355
My father formed
those companies.
52
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:59,323
Yes, uh, gentlemen,
53
00:04:59,432 --> 00:05:02,266
I was privileged to
make my contribution
54
00:05:02,369 --> 00:05:04,736
to the growth of
this great land,
55
00:05:04,838 --> 00:05:06,534
but I consider those
accomplishments
56
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,131
to be less than nothing
57
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:11,473
compared to the task
I'm embarked on now.
58
00:05:11,578 --> 00:05:13,740
'Cause I've long
known of the cryin' need.
59
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:16,612
What about Winnemucca
and his Paiutes?
60
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:18,617
You think they're
just gonna sit there
61
00:05:18,718 --> 00:05:21,449
and let you ride
across their land?
62
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:23,285
Well, now, let's
not start worrying
63
00:05:23,390 --> 00:05:24,551
about a bunch of redskins.
64
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:26,388
It's my job to handle them.
65
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:28,724
Winnemucca's braves are...
66
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:32,266
more than just "a bunch of
redskins," Mr. Wade. Uh...
67
00:05:32,365 --> 00:05:35,199
they're about as fierce a tribe
as you can find around here.
68
00:05:35,302 --> 00:05:37,134
I think they're to
be reckoned with.
69
00:05:37,237 --> 00:05:39,468
Well, you haven't had any
trouble with Winnemucca
70
00:05:39,573 --> 00:05:41,769
since that fight at
Pyramid Lake, have you?
71
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,571
No.
72
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:47,747
No, but he's a...
he's a strange man.
73
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:51,012
You never know what's
going on in his mind.
74
00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:54,485
Oh, he... might let you
ride across his territory
75
00:05:54,588 --> 00:05:56,318
without any trouble at all.
76
00:05:56,423 --> 00:05:58,324
Yeah, he could do that.
77
00:05:58,425 --> 00:06:01,259
But then he might just
as well decide to fight.
78
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:05,059
Now, look, did we come
here for advice or dollars?
79
00:06:05,165 --> 00:06:08,260
You heard what Mr. Ludlow
said about needing your support.
80
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:10,064
Now, how about it?
81
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,071
Thank you, Curtis.
82
00:06:12,172 --> 00:06:16,268
My partner, Mr. Wade,
has, as always, hit the nail
83
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:18,675
exactly on the head.
84
00:06:18,778 --> 00:06:22,715
Our most pressing
need right now is money.
85
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:30,714
I'll pledge $6,000.
86
00:06:30,824 --> 00:06:32,725
Thank you.
87
00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:35,728
By golly, if Ben Cartwright
thinks that much of the deal,
88
00:06:35,829 --> 00:06:36,922
I'm for it, too.
89
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:39,261
You can put me down
for 2,000, Ludlow.
90
00:06:39,366 --> 00:06:41,164
I'll go for 1,500.
91
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:43,169
Excellent. Uh...
92
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:46,172
you just write down here the
amount you intend to invest.
93
00:06:46,273 --> 00:06:50,267
Uh... start with Mr. Cartwright.
94
00:06:51,278 --> 00:06:53,838
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.
95
00:06:53,947 --> 00:06:57,543
Well, the, uh, Cartwright
trick rider, I do believe.
96
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:02,122
We had a little
race outside of town.
97
00:07:02,222 --> 00:07:04,020
Yeah, well, you still
owe me a rematch.
98
00:07:04,124 --> 00:07:07,026
Well, I'd much rather you
raced for the Pony Express
99
00:07:07,127 --> 00:07:08,595
than against it.
100
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:10,789
- Uh, my name's Jabez Ludlow.
- Good to see you.
101
00:07:10,897 --> 00:07:11,897
Why don't you join us?
102
00:07:11,998 --> 00:07:13,330
Well, I've been
thinking about it.
103
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:16,403
Well, uh, I think we have plenty
of work for this young man to do
104
00:07:16,503 --> 00:07:17,801
on the Ponderosa.
105
00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:20,339
- Thank you, gentlemen.
- Thank you.
106
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,137
Mr. Cartwright. Uh...
107
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:26,111
my partner, Mr. Wade, and I
108
00:07:26,212 --> 00:07:30,115
would like to speak with
you privately, if we may.
109
00:07:32,886 --> 00:07:33,945
Fine.
110
00:07:34,054 --> 00:07:35,054
Boys, wait for me.
111
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,723
Joe...
112
00:07:40,827 --> 00:07:43,592
you ain't seriously thinking
about joining this outfit.
113
00:07:43,697 --> 00:07:45,996
Well, why not? Sure, I'm
seriously thinking about it.
114
00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:47,899
You heard what Mr. Ludlow
said about being one
115
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:50,168
of the most important things
to ever happen to the West.
116
00:07:50,236 --> 00:07:53,297
Yeah, but, Joe, you're
gonna risk your life.
117
00:07:53,406 --> 00:07:56,137
Well, it's my life, isn't it?
118
00:08:04,217 --> 00:08:06,948
Gentlemen, I... I
don't know what to say.
119
00:08:07,053 --> 00:08:09,079
Say yes, Ben.
120
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:10,623
You're the man we want,
121
00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:13,319
the man we need to make
this a going enterprise.
122
00:08:14,361 --> 00:08:16,853
I've been watching the...
123
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:20,024
progress of the Pony Express
with a great deal of interest.
124
00:08:20,133 --> 00:08:22,500
Ben, as a member of
our board of directors,
125
00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:24,730
you'll be invaluable to us.
126
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:27,569
You see, it takes men
not only with vision
127
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:29,836
but men with a practical
knowledge of the West,
128
00:08:29,943 --> 00:08:32,708
uh, to make a thing
like this a going one.
129
00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:35,682
What do you say, Mr. Cartwright?
130
00:08:35,782 --> 00:08:37,444
You want to be a part of it?
131
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:42,855
Yeah.
132
00:08:44,591 --> 00:08:47,584
Yes, I want to be part of it.
133
00:08:58,038 --> 00:08:59,199
Look at him go!
134
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:01,365
He's scooping up
sand in his back pocket!
135
00:09:07,614 --> 00:09:09,515
"Not over 25 years.
136
00:09:09,616 --> 00:09:12,916
"Must be expert riders and
willing to risk death daily.

00:09:13,019 --> 00:09:14,578
"Orphans preferred.

$125 a month"?!
139
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:28,595
Our horses can't
carry that much weight
140
00:09:28,701 --> 00:09:30,602
over the distances
we have to travel.
141
00:09:30,703 --> 00:09:31,703
Sorry.
142
00:09:35,175 --> 00:09:36,473
Next.
143
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,272
Name.
144
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:40,279
Aaron Bornstein.
145
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:43,612
I weigh 130 pounds, see
lightning and hear thunder.
146
00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:46,819
Can you ride a horse?
147
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,287
Mister, I was born on a horse.
148
00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:51,688
Well, boy, you're gonna
get a chance to prove it.
149
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:52,986
You mean I'm hired?
150
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:55,119
Yeah, you're now a
Pony Express rider.
151
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:56,890
Pick a bunk in the back room.
152
00:09:59,132 --> 00:10:01,363
- Name.
- Pat Henley.
153
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:03,562
- What do you weigh?
- 129 pounds.
154
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:05,161
That's about right.
155
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:07,331
I was born on a horse, too.
156
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,466
Pick a bunk in the back room.
157
00:10:11,678 --> 00:10:13,670
Excuse me, friend.
158
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:21,311
- Looking for a job, friend?
- Yeah.
159
00:10:21,421 --> 00:10:22,998
- Where you from?
- Right here in Virginia City.
160
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:25,787
- Got a ranch right outside of town.
- Cartwright!
161
00:10:25,892 --> 00:10:27,383
Hey, Jabez, how you doing?
162
00:10:27,494 --> 00:10:29,395
Fine. You, uh,
decided to join us, huh?
163
00:10:29,496 --> 00:10:31,226
Yeah, yeah. You
finally talked me into it.
164
00:10:31,331 --> 00:10:32,822
I'm glad.
165
00:10:32,932 --> 00:10:35,663
It's a big job. We, uh...
we need riders like you.
166
00:10:35,768 --> 00:10:37,862
Son, it sound like
you got the fever.
167
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:39,405
I have.
168
00:10:39,506 --> 00:10:42,408
You'll get it, too. I can
guarantee that, mister.
169
00:10:42,509 --> 00:10:44,086
Just so that paycheck
comes in each month.
170
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:46,238
It don't matter to me
one way or the other.
171
00:10:46,346 --> 00:10:48,645
I better get my place in line.
172
00:10:48,748 --> 00:10:50,876
- I'll see you later.
- Right.
173
00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:54,820
When are you gonna
learn how to read?
174
00:10:54,921 --> 00:10:56,753
All right, it says,
175
00:10:56,856 --> 00:10:58,825
"Neither rain nor
sleet nor gloom of night
176
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:01,292
will stay the
courier on his way."
177
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:02,623
I guess they never heard
178
00:11:02,729 --> 00:11:04,561
of a horse stepping
in a prairie dog hole.
179
00:11:08,201 --> 00:11:10,193
All right.
180
00:11:11,204 --> 00:11:13,298
Pay's 125 a month.
181
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:16,137
That's more money than most
of you have seen in your lives.
182
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:19,076
Out of that, you buy your
own gear and handguns.
183
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:20,477
Handguns?
184
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:22,139
What about using a rifle?
185
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:24,444
Like to keep
Indians at a distance.
186
00:11:24,551 --> 00:11:27,612
Well, that's why we give
you fast grain-fed horses.
187
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,211
You use 'em for speed.
188
00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:31,689
Outrun 'em, don't
try to outfight 'em.
189
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:36,087
And I've got one rule
you better all remember:
190
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:39,257
bring yourselves
and the mail in on time
191
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:41,459
or bring yourselves in dead.
192
00:11:44,070 --> 00:11:47,404
That's all. Be here tomorrow
morning ready to go to work.
193
00:11:49,075 --> 00:11:50,407
You're Joe
Cartwright, aren't you?
194
00:11:50,510 --> 00:11:51,910
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
195
00:11:52,011 --> 00:11:53,489
I'm Emmett Carver from
down Carson City way.
196
00:11:53,513 --> 00:11:54,572
Hi, Emmett.
197
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:55,791
Your dad and mine
know each other.
198
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:57,026
- Oh, yeah, that's right.
- Yeah.
199
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:58,730
Yeah, I heard my pa
mention him many times.
200
00:11:58,785 --> 00:12:00,083
What do you think of that Wade?
201
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:01,017
He sure like to kid, don't he?
202
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,383
Oh, yeah.
203
00:12:02,488 --> 00:12:04,033
He's a real barrel of
laughs, that's for sure.
204
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:07,619
You know, I told my dad this
was gonna be a real safe job.
205
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:10,128
Wait'll he hears about
that number one rule,
206
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:12,392
on schedule or
dead... That'd kill him.
207
00:12:12,498 --> 00:12:14,399
Please, please,
don't use that word.
208
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,436
- I'll see you later.
- All right.
209
00:12:17,537 --> 00:12:21,304
Hey, fellas, here's the
schedule, who rides and where.
210
00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:22,966
Excuse me, fellas.
211
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:24,908
Joe...
212
00:12:26,346 --> 00:12:28,315
- Yeah.
- Uh, don't mind Mr. Wade.
213
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,315
He's, uh... he's
tough but he's fair.
214
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:31,941
He'll take care of his men.
215
00:12:32,051 --> 00:12:33,519
How long you known him?
216
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:35,521
Mm, about three years.
217
00:12:35,622 --> 00:12:38,091
Used to be an Indian
fighter in the southwest.
218
00:12:38,191 --> 00:12:41,093
Pop thinks he's the man
to make this operation work.
219
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:42,992
I'm inclined to agree with him.
220
00:12:43,096 --> 00:12:46,032
Well, I got to admit,
he talks tough enough.
221
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:47,409
I'll see you tomorrow.
222
00:12:47,433 --> 00:12:49,425
Right.
223
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:52,268
- Hey, Joe?
- Yeah, Hoss.
224
00:12:52,372 --> 00:12:54,273
Was afraid I'd find you here.
225
00:12:54,374 --> 00:12:57,139
I saw your horse
tied up out here.
226
00:12:57,243 --> 00:12:59,235
You know, we got a
lot of work to do, Joe.
227
00:12:59,345 --> 00:13:01,745
We got to move all those cattle
down from that north pasture.
228
00:13:03,650 --> 00:13:05,414
Yeah, well, I'm afraid
I'm not gonna be able
229
00:13:05,518 --> 00:13:06,542
to help you move 'em.
230
00:13:06,653 --> 00:13:08,713
Joe, you didn't...?
231
00:13:08,821 --> 00:13:10,187
Yeah, I joined 'em.
232
00:13:13,693 --> 00:13:15,685
Pa sure ain't gonna like that.
233
00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:19,856
I know. I'm not looking
forward to telling him, either.
234
00:13:19,966 --> 00:13:22,367
Well, I guess I
better get on home.
235
00:13:28,174 --> 00:13:31,201
I... I sure don't
understand you, Joseph.
236
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:34,213
Why couldn't you at least
have talked to me about it?
237
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:36,215
Because I was afraid
you were gonna say no.
238
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:38,444
Because you were afraid
I was going to say no.
239
00:13:38,551 --> 00:13:40,884
And could there possibly
be a reason for me saying no?
240
00:13:40,987 --> 00:13:42,979
- Yes, sir, but I... oh...
- Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
241
00:13:43,089 --> 00:13:45,024
With Adam gone, I
need both of you here.
242
00:13:45,124 --> 00:13:46,422
This ranch won't run by itself.
243
00:13:46,526 --> 00:13:48,552
Look, Pa, you gave
money to the Pony Express.
244
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,129
You're on the
board of directors.
245
00:13:50,229 --> 00:13:52,389
Now I just don't see why
you won't let me ride for 'em.
246
00:13:52,432 --> 00:13:55,431
Because I... Because
I need you here.
247
00:13:55,535 --> 00:13:57,629
Oh, now, you know
that's not the reason.
248
00:13:59,138 --> 00:14:01,266
Look, Pa, nothing's
gonna happen to me.
249
00:14:01,374 --> 00:14:03,809
Look, you-you told me how
important the Pony Express was;
250
00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:06,379
that's it's the biggest thing
that ever happened in the West.
251
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:10,809
Well, I want to be part of it...
252
00:14:10,917 --> 00:14:13,113

00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,695

young man, you
get yourself upstairs
255
00:14:34,841 --> 00:14:36,810
and pack those bags of yours
256
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:39,640
if you're going to report to the
Pony Express in the morning.
257
00:14:39,746 --> 00:14:40,975
Now, get off with you.
258
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:43,973
Yes, sir.
259
00:14:45,051 --> 00:14:46,519
Hey, don't look so sad.
260
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:49,418
You lose about 190 pounds,
I'll put a word in for you.
261

I lose 190 pounds, I
couldn't keep a saddle on me.

00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:57,126
Pa... you know
what those fellers
263

00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:31,138
Oh, yes, he's a very
famous man, you know.
349
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:32,821
Caught the imagination
350
00:23:32,845 --> 00:23:34,905
of uncounted thousands.
351
00:23:35,014 --> 00:23:37,779
All right, friend, here's
your chance to meet him.
352
00:23:38,951 --> 00:23:42,513
This is Mr. Charles
Ludlow, my partner.
353
00:23:42,621 --> 00:23:44,556
This is Mr. Tully of
the Washington Globe.
354
00:23:44,657 --> 00:23:48,355
- Oh.
- It's a real honor, Mr. Ludlow.
355
00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:51,362
It isn't often that I stand in
the presence of greatness.
356
00:23:51,463 --> 00:23:56,529
Well, now, you
flatter me, Mr. Tully.
357
00:23:56,635 --> 00:23:58,297
Oh, no.
358
00:23:58,404 --> 00:24:02,432
My editor sent me 3,000 miles
just to write a story about you
359
00:24:02,541 --> 00:24:05,477
and the way you've built
your great Pony Express.
360
00:24:05,577 --> 00:24:07,637
Well...
361
00:24:07,746 --> 00:24:09,840
I'll certainly tell 'em
all I know about it.
362
00:24:11,417 --> 00:24:13,477
Would you like some coffee?
363
00:24:13,585 --> 00:24:15,315
Well, I'd rather have a drink?
364
00:24:15,421 --> 00:24:17,287
Oh, I'm afraid
365
00:24:17,389 --> 00:24:20,257
we don't have spirits
in this office, Mr. Tully.
366
00:24:22,294 --> 00:24:23,728
Oh.
367
00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:25,957
Well, in that
case, coffee it is.
368
00:24:26,065 --> 00:24:27,590
Uh, Charles, I'd
like you to look
369
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:29,225
at the bills for
those new horses.
370
00:24:29,335 --> 00:24:30,394
Curtis, that can wait.
371
00:24:30,502 --> 00:24:32,027
You know I don't
care about business.
372
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:33,662
Get our guest some coffee,
373
00:24:33,772 --> 00:24:35,138
and bring me some, too.
374
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,301
You see, Mr. Tully...
375
00:24:38,410 --> 00:24:42,939
this is more than just a story.
376
00:24:43,048 --> 00:24:45,711
This is a saga.
377
00:24:48,787 --> 00:24:50,756
I had a vision, a great one.
378
00:24:50,856 --> 00:24:53,018
A vision of this land of ours.
379
00:24:53,125 --> 00:24:56,459
The populous East and
the great West tied together
380
00:24:56,562 --> 00:24:58,224
by a single thread of riders.
381
00:24:58,330 --> 00:24:59,855
- Mr. Ludlow...
- Of courageous young..
382
00:24:59,965 --> 00:25:02,764
- Mr. Ludlow?
- Yeah?
383
00:25:02,868 --> 00:25:04,860
I, uh... I want to
get this all down.
384
00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:06,768
- Ah...
- But, you see, I-I'm...
385
00:25:06,872 --> 00:25:08,704
At the moment,
I'm still a bit groggy
386
00:25:08,807 --> 00:25:11,436
from my-my trip, and I
wonder if it'd be possible
387
00:25:11,543 --> 00:25:15,275
to arrange an interview
for, say, this afternoon?
388
00:25:15,381 --> 00:25:19,184
Oh, well, um...
389
00:25:19,284 --> 00:25:22,618
Well, of course, at-at your
convenience, Mr. Tully.
390
00:25:22,721 --> 00:25:24,246
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
391
00:25:24,356 --> 00:25:26,552
And I want you to
know, the whole nation,
392
00:25:26,658 --> 00:25:30,823
the whole world is
waiting to hear your story.
393
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:35,067
You're the man of the hour.
394
00:25:35,167 --> 00:25:37,762
- Believe me.
- Thank you.
395
00:25:37,870 --> 00:25:39,133
Thank you, Mr. Tully.
396
00:25:39,238 --> 00:25:40,866
I'll... I'll see you later.
397
00:25:43,075 --> 00:25:44,543
Curtis!
398
00:25:44,643 --> 00:25:46,703
Curtis, did you hear
what he said about me?
399
00:25:46,812 --> 00:25:48,576
Oh, Curtis, we're going places.
400
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,206
Who knows what we might do!
401
00:25:51,316 --> 00:25:53,945
"Man of the hour," he said.
402
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:57,217
"Stand in the
presence of greatness."
403
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,088
Why, the Pony Express
might be a stepping stone.
404
00:26:02,194 --> 00:26:04,425
A great opportunity!
405
00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:06,522
Think of that, my friend.
406
00:26:06,632 --> 00:26:08,828
A whole nation at my feet.
407
00:26:08,934 --> 00:26:11,301
Think of it, my friend!
408
00:26:12,538 --> 00:26:15,007
I have been
thinking of it, Charles.
409
00:26:17,276 --> 00:26:20,474
Here, drink your coffee
before it gets cold.
410
00:26:39,565 --> 00:26:42,467
I wish you could've
known Emmett Carver.
411
00:26:42,568 --> 00:26:46,005
He was really a heck of a guy.
412
00:26:46,105 --> 00:26:48,870
Always laughing
and joking all the time.

Joe, you ride again

the first thing in the
morning, don't you?
416
00:26:58,984 --> 00:27:01,010
Yeah, I guess I do. I...

00:27:12,698 --> 00:27:14,929
you reckon you could ride
into Winnemucca's camp
420
00:27:15,033 --> 00:27:16,399
and talk with him?
421
00:27:18,770 --> 00:27:20,705
I don't know.
422
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:23,332
I did sit in to that peace
meeting with him...
423
00:27:23,442 --> 00:27:24,967
Pyramid Lake.
424
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:28,109
Well, he ain't very peaceful

It's been a long

with an old friend,

and to ask why my old
friend kills the pony riders.
433
00:28:27,973 --> 00:28:30,306
They do no harm.
434
00:28:30,409 --> 00:28:32,844
They carry only letters,
435

sometimes medicine.
436
00:28:34,947 --> 00:28:36,939
They are men of peace.

Hear me, Ben Cartwright.
438
00:28:40,886 --> 00:28:45,420
First one pony
rider, then wagons,
439
00:28:45,524 --> 00:28:50,893
then many white men,
many white guns...

But it would not
happen that way.

And there is a way to avoid it.
443
00:28:59,671 --> 00:29:02,004
By making a treaty,
444
00:29:02,107 --> 00:29:04,440
and setting down in that
treaty the number of riders
445
00:29:04,543 --> 00:29:06,375
that you would allow
to cross your land.
446
00:29:06,478 --> 00:29:08,344
And that way, you could
control the situation.

How can you speak
to me of treaties!
451
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:30,000
You are a father.
452
00:29:30,102 --> 00:29:32,697
You have sons.
453
00:29:32,804 --> 00:29:36,866
Do you wish to see your

if they come on my land...
463
00:30:16,281 --> 00:30:18,750
I will kill them.
464
00:30:46,712 --> 00:30:49,307

- Yeah. We saw him, all right.

Yeah. Where's Mr. Ludlow?

He just went down to
the hotel with Mr. Wade.
467
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:54,829
What did Winnemucca say?
Is there any chance for a treaty?
468
00:30:54,853 --> 00:30:56,412
No.
469

Now, Joseph... I
know I haven't any right
470
00:31:03,562 --> 00:31:06,225
to ask you not to
make your run, but...
471
00:31:06,331 --> 00:31:09,859
as a father, I'd sure feel a
whole lot better if you didn't.
472

Pa, you know I can't do that.
473
00:31:12,170 --> 00:31:13,798
If I don't make the ride,
474
00:31:13,905 --> 00:31:16,272
one of the other fellas
is gonna have to. I...
475
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:18,935
I can't back out just
'cause the going gets rough.
476
00:31:24,416 --> 00:31:26,317
- Come on.
- Look, Joe...
477
00:31:26,418 --> 00:31:28,319
delay it as long as
you can, anyhow.
478
00:31:28,420 --> 00:31:31,288
Let Pa have a chance
to talk to Ludlow.
479
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:32,390
Yeah.

00:31:56,748 --> 00:31:59,650
Let's wait a while; Pa's
down talking to someone.
481
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:08,826
Mr. Wade, we have no choice.
482
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:10,828
We've got to reroute
the Pony Express
483
00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:12,830
- around Winnemucca's terri...
- We can't!
484
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:14,160
It's as simple as that.
485
00:32:14,266 --> 00:32:16,861
Wade, what do you want
anyhow, an Indian war?
486
00:32:19,271 --> 00:32:22,173
It'll take us months to build
those new relay stations.
487
00:32:22,274 --> 00:32:24,175
If we stop those riders now,
488
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:26,177
we'll never get that
government subsidy.
489
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:28,645
And without that, we're
finished, out of business.
490
00:32:28,747 --> 00:32:30,306
Well, as far as I'm concerned,
491
00:32:30,415 --> 00:32:33,214
no business is worth the
loss of a single human life!
492
00:32:33,318 --> 00:32:36,720
And no Indian is gonna
dictate terms to me.
493
00:32:36,822 --> 00:32:38,814
If we have to lock
horns, with them, so be it,
494
00:32:38,924 --> 00:32:40,859
- but I say...
- I say Ben is right!
495
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:47,157
We'll just... have
to cease operations
496
00:32:47,265 --> 00:32:49,393
till the stations are built.

was doing that.

this before the board,

00:34:34,172 --> 00:34:36,505
live up to your
expectations of them.
523
00:34:36,608 --> 00:34:38,907
But that Mr. Ludlow...
524
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:41,639
everybody I talk to says,
"Mr. Ludlow says this,
525
00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:43,476
Mr. Ludlow says that."
526
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:46,609
Mr. Ludlow is a past
master at saying things.
527
00:34:46,718 --> 00:34:48,710
Doing things is something else.
528
00:34:51,723 --> 00:34:55,023
Why am I telling you
this? Do your story.
529
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:03,032
Well, now...
530
00:35:03,134 --> 00:35:05,899
Ludlow is only a story
if he runs the Express.
531
00:35:06,004 --> 00:35:07,996
Now, if that doesn't
happen to be true...
532
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:09,597
Why should I lie to you?
533
00:35:09,708 --> 00:35:11,870
I can give you a lot of reasons.
534
00:35:11,977 --> 00:35:14,674
How about resentment,
just for openers?
535
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:21,613
Look, Mr. Wade,
Ludlow is my story
536
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,655
until I learn otherwise.
537
00:35:23,755 --> 00:35:26,350
And to my readers, he's
the leader of this outfit,
538
00:35:26,458 --> 00:35:27,824
the visionary.
539
00:35:27,926 --> 00:35:31,488
To be quite frank, he's the
dashing man on the white horse.
540
00:35:31,596 --> 00:35:34,896
And what if he fell
off that white horse?
541
00:35:36,635 --> 00:35:39,503
Oh, now, that would
be another matter.
542
00:35:39,604 --> 00:35:41,266
But let me caution you...
543
00:35:41,373 --> 00:35:44,639
You don't knock down a man
like Charles Ludlow very easily.
544
00:35:44,743 --> 00:35:46,905
I know that.
545
00:35:49,381 --> 00:35:52,647
I was going through some
of Ludlow's files the other day.
546
00:35:52,751 --> 00:35:55,744
I ran into some very
interesting reading.
547
00:36:00,959 --> 00:36:02,951
How's that for openers?
548
00:36:05,730 --> 00:36:08,791
Looks like you're holding
all the aces, Mr. Wade.
549
00:36:22,714 --> 00:36:26,494
We'll return to tonight's
story of Bonanza
550
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:27,781
in a moment.
551
00:36:30,655 --> 00:36:34,649
And now the exciting
conclusion of tonight's story.
552
00:36:38,563 --> 00:36:41,624
You see, gentlemen,
it's quite simple.
553
00:36:41,733 --> 00:36:44,532
We must have a peace
treaty with Winnemucca.
554
00:36:44,636 --> 00:36:47,936
- No, Ludlow, you can't...
- Now, now, please, please, please.
555
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:52,000
I have prepared...
just such a treaty.
556
00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:55,103
There is the document. Huh?
557
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:57,739
And I think they'll find
that quite acceptable.
558
00:36:57,849 --> 00:37:01,650
You see, we offer to pay
for any one of our riders
559
00:37:01,753 --> 00:37:04,416
who crosses Winnemucca's lands.
560
00:37:04,522 --> 00:37:06,491
The last time we
tried to get a treaty
561
00:37:06,591 --> 00:37:08,560
with that old Paiute,
it took almost a year.
562
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:10,652
Now, why should it be
any different this time?
563
00:37:10,762 --> 00:37:12,663
It won't be any different...
564
00:37:12,764 --> 00:37:15,461
not unless we come up
with some gesture of goodwill
565
00:37:15,567 --> 00:37:16,933
to Winnemucca.
566
00:37:17,035 --> 00:37:19,436
Cartwright, talk sense.
567
00:37:21,372 --> 00:37:23,739
Our only chance to
survive is to obtain
568
00:37:23,842 --> 00:37:25,367
a government subsidy.
569
00:37:25,477 --> 00:37:27,207
Isn't that right, Mr. Ludlow?
570
00:37:27,312 --> 00:37:29,872
- Well, I...
- Well, isn't it?
571
00:37:29,981 --> 00:37:31,347
Yes, yes, yes!
572
00:37:31,449 --> 00:37:34,146
But I still don't see what
that has to do with this treaty.
573
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:35,692
We-we can't go on
conducting business
574
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:37,052
without a treaty
with the Indians.
575
00:37:37,155 --> 00:37:40,614
If we have to suspend the
Pony Express, even for one day...
576
00:37:40,725 --> 00:37:42,751
If we hold up the
mail, we've failed!
577
00:37:42,861 --> 00:37:44,853
No, no, I tell you, no!
578
00:37:44,963 --> 00:37:47,023
I don't have to
tell you gentlemen
579
00:37:47,132 --> 00:37:50,364
the financial structure
of this company is shaky.
580
00:37:50,468 --> 00:37:53,632
If we don't get that subsidy,
we're out of business.
581
00:37:53,738 --> 00:37:55,502
Now, Curtis, we'll
do this my way!
582
00:37:55,607 --> 00:37:57,473
And I insist on a
treaty with the...
583
00:37:57,575 --> 00:37:59,635
- You insist?
- I insist!
584
00:37:59,744 --> 00:38:01,804
What makes you think
you've got the right
585
00:38:01,913 --> 00:38:03,438
to insist or anything else?
586
00:38:05,917 --> 00:38:08,716
As soon as our friends here
take a look at these papers,
587
00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:11,187
we'll see who they'll
listen to, you or me.
588
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:16,060
What are these papers, Wade?
589
00:38:16,161 --> 00:38:18,426
- His creditors' reports.
- Creditors' reports?!
590
00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:20,226
What kind of creditors, Wade?
591
00:38:20,331 --> 00:38:21,924
I'll tell you what kind.
592
00:38:22,033 --> 00:38:23,661
The men who've
backed and supported
593
00:38:23,768 --> 00:38:25,999
various and assorted companies,
594
00:38:26,104 --> 00:38:28,664
such as the Erie Canal
Riverboat Service,
595
00:38:28,773 --> 00:38:31,937
New Orleans Clipper Line,
Washington and Boston Packet,
596
00:38:32,043 --> 00:38:33,978
all of which were
headed by Mr. Ludlow,
597
00:38:34,078 --> 00:38:35,671
and all of which went broke!
598
00:38:35,780 --> 00:38:38,113
That was all in
the past. It's over.
599
00:38:38,216 --> 00:38:39,309
Is it?
600
00:38:39,417 --> 00:38:40,528
Isn't your father trying to stop
601
00:38:40,552 --> 00:38:42,145
the operation of
the Pony Express
602
00:38:42,253 --> 00:38:44,484
while we palaver with
a bunch of redskins?
603
00:38:44,589 --> 00:38:46,353
You think that's the kind of man
604
00:38:46,457 --> 00:38:48,449
the government is gonna
subsidize... a quitter?
605
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,724
He's ready to send us
into bankruptcy right now,
606
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:53,274
just as surely as he did
these other companies.
607
00:38:53,298 --> 00:38:56,041
What are you trying
to pull off there, Ludlow!
608
00:38:56,868 --> 00:38:57,912
- Wait a minute!
- Are these reports true?
609
00:38:57,936 --> 00:38:59,632
Wait! Wait!
610
00:38:59,737 --> 00:39:02,070
Let's hear what
Mr. Ludlow has to say!
611
00:39:05,310 --> 00:39:10,248
I do not deny... those reports.
612
00:39:10,348 --> 00:39:12,340
Look, if you don't
want to lose your money
613
00:39:12,450 --> 00:39:14,885
the same way all
Mr. Ludlow's other creditors did,
614
00:39:14,986 --> 00:39:16,978
I'm asking you to give
me a fighting chance
615
00:39:17,088 --> 00:39:18,989
to keep the Pony
Express in operation.
616
00:39:19,090 --> 00:39:20,251
Don't give in to Winnemucca.
617
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,678
We'll fight him!
We'll outrun him!
618
00:39:21,759 --> 00:39:23,990
We'll run him into the
ground, if we have to.
619
00:39:24,095 --> 00:39:27,827
And how many pony riders
will have to die in the process!
620
00:39:27,932 --> 00:39:30,561
They volunteered! If they
don't like it, they can get out.
621
00:39:30,668 --> 00:39:32,179
We've got a right to
protect our interests.
622
00:39:32,203 --> 00:39:34,035
I say we give Mr. Wade
a vote of confidence.
623
00:39:34,138 --> 00:39:35,883
- Now, wait a minute...
- And I second that motion.
624
00:39:35,907 --> 00:39:38,809
- All in favor, say "aye"!
- Aye!
625
00:39:42,213 --> 00:39:44,045
Opposed?
626
00:39:45,550 --> 00:39:47,075
Opposed.
627

The board has
spoken, Mr. Ludlow.
628

You're no longer the
head of this organization.

You... you saw what happened.

I saw you crumble and collapse
before a man named Curtis Wade.
640
00:41:09,634 --> 00:41:12,263
I watched him take the
Pony Express away from you

without even a struggle.

Of all his great
achievements that went bust?

Of watching him run out
on one thing after another?
652

Last thing in the world I
wanted was to let anybody down.
